Triumph Tiger description

1972 Triumph TR6R Tiger. Matching numbers on frame and engine. This was owned by a retired 80 year old gentleman who was retired and living on Cape Cod, Massachusetts. It was part of his collection of vintage motorcycles and cars. I was too late to buy the BSA's and Norton's he had for sale but I was able to find this Triumph tucked way back in his barn behind and old Ford truck. I had brought with me a new battery and fresh gas and after a few kicks it started right up. Since I brought it home I have cleaned and rebuilt the carburetor, cleaned the inside of the gas tank with Muric acid so it is now down to bare metal and looks like new again, replaced fuel lines, added fuel filters, changed oil, cleaned points, changed fork oil, tuned timing, and polished paint. I also installed a brand new exhaust from headers down (I still have original) and had newer tires mounted. I don't know if this bike has ever been restored or if this is all original condition. Whatever the case, it looks great! No choke on this bike (doesn't need one), and no directionals. Owner said it never had directionals and now doesn't require them due to its age. These TR6R Tigers are preferred by many over the same year Bonneville's due to the simplicity of a single carb and very similar performance numbers. The bike is ready for a new owner. Comes with clean and clear MA title signed over by the older gentleman with no date. Ready for new owner to sign and bring to their states registry. Good luck bidding.

Craig Vetter Grand Marshall for 2012 AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days

Tue, 22 May 2012

PICKERINGTON, Ohio — AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame member and noted designer Craig Vetter — whose contributions to motorcycling range from the iconic Windjammer fairings and the Triumph X-75 Hurricane to the Mystery Ship limited-production high-performance motorcycles and a number of high-profile motorcycle fuel-economy contests — will be honored as this year’s grand marshal at AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days featuring Rockers and Mods, July 20-22, at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course in Lexington, Ohio. Vetter has been a member of the American Motorcyclist Association and a designer since 1965, and his varied background gives him a unique alliance to both the Rockers and Mods motorcycle subcultures. His design projects over the years have involved café racers — the motorcycles of choice for Rockers — and scooters, which are favored by Mods.

First Look: Alpinestars Bionic Neck Support

Tue, 02 Nov 2010

I'm predominantly a road rider, so I haven't had much to do with neck braces, until now. I'm heading on the launch of the new Triumph Tiger 800 and there will be a session of light off-roading so I thought this would be a chance to try the Alpinestars Bionic Neck Support, mainly to see what it was like for day-to-day use. I hope I don't crash hard enough to test its protection qualities and I don't expect to be clearing any table tops either, but I'm curious to know how I get on with the BNS and whether it feels claustrophobic.

AMA Pro GoPro Daytona SportBike Riders Gearing Up For Road America

Thu, 29 May 2014

The AMA Pro GoPro Daytona SportBike class makes its much-anticipated return to Road America this weekend. The four-mile Wisconsin circuit is a particularly exciting place to watch the middleweight bikes because its long straights and braking zones make passing and lead changes commonplace. More than just a test of man and machine, the races often develop into a strategic battle leading up to the all-important last lap and run up the hill to the checkered flag.
